Chapter 122 Tests (1/2)

Upon seeing the frantic CEO Charles, Ali stepped forward.

”He's fine, relatively,” Ali said while Lucka continued to examine Kyle.

”What happened?” CEO Charles said.

Ali was stumped as to what and how this could be explained. The fact that the lift fell was one thing but what about Kyle being out here?

While Ali was racking his brains to think of an answer, Alex said, ”The lift was stuck inbetween floors and Kyle was inside. He called us about it and we came to help.”

”Why didn't you just call for help?” CEO Charles asked in puzzlement, also partly in anger. How could they have thought they had the skills to get someone out of a stuck lift?

”Kyle said he had already done so,” Alex explained calmly, repeating what Kay was telling him. In truth, the cover-up story was being provided by Kay, who was currently directing Alex what to say via the earpiece.

Lucka took the opportunity that the attention was not focused on him at the moment to surreptitiously take out Kyle's earpiece. He palmed it so that it remained hidden, then proceeded to openly remove all of Kyle's personal items. Once the response team arrived, the items would be a hindrance.

”We came here to wait for the rescue team to arrive. But when we heard this loud crash, we just started running and were quite rude to the people here. We apologize for that. We didn't mean to push you aside but we were so worried,” Alex said with a sad face and he bowed to the people who he had pushed aside.

Those that had initially been angry were appeased and understood the situation after hearing what Alex said. Especially when they saw the injured Kyle on the floor who still had his eyes closed.

”We thought the worst and when the doors opened, we were just so relieved to see him hanging there. How he got there, we don't know,” Alex finished explaining.

The best person to come up with the cover story about that would be Kyle but he was out of commission at the moment. So the next best move was to simplify and give just enough information about the accident instead.

The rest of the team were already doing what needed to be done to create a back-up to the story that they had given. Not like there was much to do, except tamper with the security footage within the lift. For that, Zero simply erased all footage from the moment Kyle sat down in the lift.

He then made it seem like the camera malfunction along with all the electronic wiring in the lift and anything connected to it. Thus, there was only static after that. That way, it wouldn't have been weird to see how Kyle, who had been sitting in the lift until the moment it fell, was suddenly outside and on the ledge.

”Kyle! Kyle! Stay awake, ya hear me?” Xing Han was shouting as he crouched next to Kyle, his face all scrunched up in worry. One would even think he was going to cry. When Kyle didn't respond, Xing Han leaned down and stared at his face.

”Hey, we haven't gone on a double date yet, so you can't fall asleep now. You also promised to feed me! And not to mention, you have to find a girl first. And one for me. Or two. No wait. I shouldn't since I have a fiancee. But who said I can't play until the day, right? And YOU! You need to find one, too, before you're 18! Otherwise, you're going to be stuck with someone you don't know and ...”

”So noisy” mumbled Kyle.

”KYLE!” wailed Xing Han.

Kyle weakly patted Xing Han's hand.

”I'm fine. Dizzy. Can't open eyes. Ankle hurts, too,” Kyle replied softly, finding it an effort even to say that much.

”Stupid Kyle,” Xing Han sniffed, ”You should have said something earlier and not lie down there like a corpse! Made me so worried for nothing. Humph.”

Kyle's lips curled up a bit into a smile.

”I got to hear Bullet Train again. Wasn't for nothing,” Kyle said with a small laugh then regretted it for it made his head pound more.

[Stay awake, dear brother]

Although Kyle wasn't wearing his earpiece anymore, Kay could still hear what was happening through Alex's and Lucka's earpieces. All of their earpieces were connected to each other so the only person who couldn't hear was Kyle.

Kay smiled a bit, touching the laptop screen that showed the security camera where Kyle was. At least, with Xing Han there, Kay felt a little reassured. She wanted to rush over as well but she also knew, that by the time she reached there, he would already be on his way to the hospital. It was best that she meet him there instead.

Kay sighed. It was hard to hold back, though.

Ali was just watching the scene quietly, smiling. Right now, everyone else was also watching how gentle the Devil Director was being and they couldn't believe it. At that moment, he actually looked like a normal, human being comforting someone else. The change was just too drastic!
